What is the test for establishing a prima facie showing of systematic exclusion of minority race?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Douglas, 36 Cal.App.4th 1681, 43 Cal.Rptr.2d 129 (Cal. App. 1995):
The record shows, as the trial court found, defense counsel failed to establish a prima facie showing of systematic exclusion of a minority race. The fact that prospective jurors have indicated they could be fair and impartial does not suffice to establish a prima facie case. (See People v. Turner (1994) 8 Cal.4th 137, 167, 32 Cal.Rptr.2d 762, 878 P.2d 521.)
